Default Glad I didn't cut the wires...

So i ordered O2 sensors, and went to replace them today. I pulled the first one out and went to replace it, and the connector of the old one didn't match the new one, i still try to put it in and the two wouldn't fit snug. So I returned them. This is the second time in the last month that i had to order a part from them and ended up getting the wrong one...

Before taking the o2 sensor out i thought it would be easier to cut the wires so i could use a box wrench, glad i didn't now..

I guess it worked out for the better though, because like an idiot i didn't shop around, and paid 148.00 dollars each, and i just checked on AB, there 109.00 there.

If you went to AutoZone those guys are almost always wrong with Rover parts.
I have better luck at Advance Auto.
